Russian invasion of Ukraine

Video Review:


And the A50 was an A50u ($200m more expensive)

According to what I have read, the Russian economy is performing well, and there is not much to worry about...

"Sniff"...

I thought the same about your post, so I await your answer ;-)

I mean I can happily start with the speaker of the House Mike Johnson who is currently blocking funding for Ukraine.

His campaign was financed by American Ethane corp, owned by Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev. Nikolaev is well known to be close to Putin. American Ethane also donated extensively to other Louisiana Republicans’ campaigns.

Or we could talk about the Trumps who have openly bragged they don’t need US financing as they get their money in Russia.

If those don’t tickle you, we could talk about Tommy Tuberville who has been long parroting Russian propaganda and even last week praised Putins interview with Carlsson as ‘eye opening’.

Those aren’t too glamorous so we could talk about Jim ‘Gym’ Jordan who has been pushing the Hunter Biden indictment based upon information he got from a Russian ‘informant’ Alexander Smirnov who has admitted to being close to the KGB.

If you want we can discuss Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham and John Kasich’s combined $7.35m in campaign funding from an oligarch close to Putin…

Putin has successfully adopted a war economy but such success can only go so far. War economies are merely the recycling of national wealth; there are no external earnings and at some point the wealth runs out and the country becomes impoverished, see UK 1945, the Marshall Plan et al.
The real Russian economy based on gas and oil is shot to pieces, so Putin has merely put off the evil day. However, they will only pay the full price if Ukraine wins the war, so the west must keep supporting them. The US House of Reps is playing with fire.

It's unbelievable that in 70 years they've gone from full on witch hunts against anyone they even suspected of having socialist leanings, to getting in bed with them.

You're saying the Russians are socialists?
